Sublimated Patches

Custom Sublimated Patches With Smooth, Full Color

Sublimated patches are made with dye sublimation, a process where heat transfers dye into the fabric itself. Because the color becomes part of the fabric rather than sitting on top of it, the patch has a smooth, flat face.

Sublimation suits bright, many-colored artwork, gradients, and photo-style images. Share your design and we will review it with you, help choose the size, border, and backing, and send a proof before production.
